ANNOUNCEMENT: 
          	
          	It has come to my attention that some authors on Wattpad have experienced their books / work stolen and published without their permission on places like Amazon. This frightens me a lot because I'm passionate about this new series The Thirteenth House and terrified that it could be stolen by a bad actor. 
          	
          	 I do not want to cut your reading experience short. So I am trying to find an option that works while keeping me safe. As such, I will be removing the first book in this series (while keeping whatever book is currently in progress). I will post a time limit announcement on book 1 (Their Warrior). This way, bad actors cannot steal the first book, but the second book remains for you to continue the story. I hate having to do this. I hate that other people ruin it for everyone. It's such a disappointment. 
          	
          	Sadly this means I will not get any new readers to the series, and only those who have already found it can continue it. But I cannot risk my work getting stolen. My only other option is to leave Wattpad entirely. If thieves get more creative and more destructive, this might be the direction I am forced to move. 
          	
          	I am lucky that my work has not yet been stolen but I do not deserve to live in fear. 
          	
          	Thank you all for your understanding!

@addicted2dragons Hi Mel. so terrible that pirates are about. From my perspective, you've certainly made the right and very necessary decision to protect yourself, and your amazing, moving, inspiring, uplifting creative legacy! Mel, please tell me, where can I read your Dragon Ball books. I'd love to read them. Loving you and your work, Eliyahu72.

@StephenTaylor2 Awwww!! I'm so sorry you missed it! :( You can give book 2 a try but yeah, I mean if you haven't read book 1 it's going to be kinda harder to follow along.

@addicted2dragons damn I didn't realize that you had a new book out. I loved the talon series.  
          	  Do I miss much if I just start on book two of the new series?? 
          	  I understand what you have had to do.  You have to keep yourself safe and your amazing stories.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that there wasn't a notification that you've updated today. I went and read the chapter anyway because I know that sometimes it just doesn't notify, just thought I'd let you know. xx

addicted2dragons

@Ocean_Skye Thanks for the heads up! Sadly notifications are not something I can control. That's on Wattpad's end. I know they are often pretty glitchy. So my guess is their system was having glitches. Glad you go to read it though :)

Hey! Just noticed there wasn’t an update today since you’re usually so consistent. Hope everything’s okay — your chapters highlight my week :⁠-⁠)

addicted2dragons

@LizzieStars Phew! I panicked there for a second because I thought it was scheduled. Mini heart attack averted! Glad it was there :)

Hi! I’ve been away from Wattpad for so long, and I noticed that all the Dragon Series books have been removed. I’m sorry to hear that your work was pirated. I’ve been a fan and reader since your very first book, and I will only read from your official online platform.
          Are you still selling softbound copies of the Dragon Series? I would love to purchase them. I’ve always believed that real books last forever, so if something like this happens again, at least I’ll still have a reliable copy with me.

addicted2dragons

@Ceejelle You are so very kind! Welcome back! Yes, I am selling physical and ebook copies of the dragonwall series. You can get physical copies from amazon, or through my online website (authormelissamitchell.com) and you can get ebook copies on amazon and also read it free in kindle unlimited. Thank you so much for your support!!!

@addicted2dragons's, so I lost my phone and I just recently got a new phone so I haven't been on Wattpad for a very long time and I'm just discovering that your books are no longer on Wattpad cause of the plagiarism, and I understand and I went to Amazon Kindle on my Google to find ur book and keep reading from where I stopped but for some reason,I can't get Kindle unlimited neither can I read books for free I don't know is it like a link you can direct me too, that I can use to access it directly or I don't know something, cause I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I tried asking customer care but you can't even speak to a real person, you just get programmed questions I don't know what to do, I need help, I need to finish dragon wall series...

addicted2dragons

@Ukpabio2021 I'm sorry to hear that you have had so much trouble. In order to read it free on kindle, you will need to subscribe to "Kindle Unlimited" and that cost approximately $12 USD per month (it's like Netflix subscription for books) but you can get the first month for free if you sign up. Or, you can purchase the ebooks as well, through amazon and read them in the kindle application on your phone, the kindle application is a free download from the application store on your phone. Here is the link to the Talon copy on line and you can access the other books from there:

Hi, I read the first book of thirteenth house, and loved it. im currently keeping up with the second. My bestfriend is also a book lover and I wanted to send her the first book so she could read it, but I noticed its not on your page anymore. I did see that you're editing it, is that why its not up anymore?

Ocean_Skye

 @addicted2dragons will you also be releasing it in paperback? I do read online but I just prefer having a hard copy if you know what I mean. xx

@MatiaEri000 okay, thank you for getting back with me, we shall keep our eyes out for it!!

addicted2dragons

@MatiaEri000 I removed it because there's been a lot of pirating going on with Wattpad lately, so to protect myself I had to remove it. And yes it is currently with my editor. The great news is next year it will be published for free on kindle unlimited. So your friend will be able to read it there and not have to wait for too long ;)

Hey Mel, it’s been a long time!
          I miss our conversations during your early creative days of the weilders prize days, while waiting for you to finish your Dragon wall series.
          I finally started working on my own book, motivated by the desire to create something that I hope someone will love to read as much as I love to read what you have created.
          
          As you know, balancing work and writing and life sometimes gets to be chaotic so I took a break from reading for a while but now I have started the second book in your 13th house series… the first one was amazing. But then again I found that pretty much all of your books are amazing.
          I noticed that a lot of of them are no longer available here on Wattpad and I found the Dragon Ball series on Kindle, but not all of your books are available there.
          As much as I love reading on apps, I’d really love to own hard copies of these books, as well as an app version for the easy convenience.
          Where can I find your works?
          You’ve got three different great series that I’ve read most of, but not all of and I’d like to be able to read each series in its completion.

addicted2dragons

@SavannahRoseBell Awww thanks so much Savannah!! I'm so glad you've started some writing of your own. It is a really fulfilling pursuit. I wish you all the best of luck there! 
            
            As for my books they are ALL Available on Kindle Unlimited. Everything I've written is there (except the stuff that has not yet been published) 
            
            What is currently there: 
            The Full Dragonwall Series
            The full Lady Witch Series
            Blood and Ballet
            For the Crown
            
            If there is something specific you cannot find, just send me an email and I'll help you track it down :)

@Xerxez Those books were removed from Wattpad last year as per my publishing contract with Amazon. I kept them free for 10 years until the series completed then removed them so that they could be published. You can read them free on kindle unlimited or check them out from most digital libraries online.
